Your Art Matters By Chimnese  

  

This morning I picked up the paper,

Usually I read the financial section,

But instead I took a brief moment

To see the who’s who in the cosmopolitan

Of the New York Times,

I must say I have found a lot of things,

Especially on what’s happening

In the world of literature and modern art,

Sculptures and new books being released,

I have spotted that the Jewish Art centre

Is shifting identity,

The Judah L Magnes Museum has

Reopened as the Magnes Collection

Of Jewish Art and life,

And is also now part of the library

At the University of California, Berkeley,

I am so delighted that art hasn’t died yet,

Those historic monuments can be carried

Through generation after generation,

We stand to know that Art does matter,

That whatever we do in this life,

That our creativity will never

Be outnumbered that Art is timeless.

Smiles by  Shail  

Smiles

Gathered from all over

In a glass jar

Happy, nervous, tearful, lopsided

Open, beguiling, sinister, guarded

Icy smiles that never reached the eyes

And warm ones that lit them up always

Smiles that opened doors

Those that shut them close

Smiles like sunshine on a rainy day

Like cool breeze on a hot summer day

Smiles protective like parasols

Others the impetus to face storms

Smiles that brought you to your knees

And those that made you swell with pride

Toothless and naughty

Seductive and haughty

Shy, reaching out

Bold, drawing in

Smiles shine like multi-colored pebbles

In my glass jar

Reminders of milestones

Of life’s journeys.

Love By WyomingDiva  

Do you remember

special rose-scented

dates?

I do...

mostly my own

though.

Magical first dates

Hoped for engagement

Fairly tale marriage

Surprising birth of daughter

and adoption by her

true father, my husband.

All of our birthdays.

Even the dogs get

remembered in

our home.

The passing of those

dearly missed and

some not so much.

Cinnamon and brown

sugar contentment

permeates our lives.

Relied Upon by Robin  

accept it.

heal.

it moves through…

you don’t know what

will be

if you give up

on that fire that relies upon

nothing beyond itself for

strength.
